I knew you’d like it… though your mastery in these matters is hard to match, my friend. Between 1847 and 1874, many Chinese migrants arrived in Cuba to work in the sugarcane fields. African slavery was being gradually abolished, and there was a demand for labour. Sources say around 150,000 arrived. They faced extremely harsh conditions, almost comparable to slavery. According to one of the latest censuses, I believe only about less a hundred remain today, though it’s believed that some 20,000 descendants still live on the island.
